Itinerary and highlights
Experience a Mayan cave adventure like no other!
~
You'll start the tour at the Nohoch Che'en Reserve. Start by wading across the river (about knee deep). Once on the other side, enjoy a guided nature walk through the jungle and a dry cave as you make your way to the starting point. Double hard shell sit on top kayaks await you at the riverside. Get acquainted with your kayak as you listen in to the safety briefing. Start with a short paddle upstream to the very first cave, where the river comes up from underground. Then head downstream, guiding your kayak through the cave systems with only your headlamp to lead the way! The river winds in and out of several cave systems and finishes with an open stretch along the jungle-lined river, ending where you first waded across the river.
Xunantunich - pronounced "shoe-nan-toon-ich" encompasses an impressive plaza area ringed with even more impressive temple structures.
